www.kansascity.com/sports/story/489260.htmlMissouri notebookFirst halfKey play: Seventeen seconds after draining a three, J.T. Tiller popped in a two and suddenly Missouri had momentum heading into the final five minutes of the half. Key stat: 20-2. That was the MU scoring run that closed out the first half. Aleks Maric scored Nebraska’s only two points in the run on two free throws at 3:49. Second halfKey play: MU coach Mike Anderson switched to a man-to-man defense early in the half. Nebraska ate it up, with Maric scoring 24 of his 32 points. This after MU’s zone defense held Nebraska without a basket the final 5:57 of the first half. Key stat: 19. That’s how many points Maric scored in the first 11:30 of the second half, primarily when MU was in that man to man defense. Notes•How did Nebraska not get the ball to Aleks Maric in overtime, when he had already scored 32 points? “That was my fault,” said Nebraska coach Doc Sadler. No, it was the fault of the Nebraska guards, who panicked and tried to beat Missouri themselves. •Nebraska made more free throws than Missouri shot (Huskers were 23 of 33 and MU 17 of 21). •Even when the MU stat crew was admittedly wrong, it wound up right in MU’s game Saturday against Texas A&M. Breakdown of video showed Jason Horton was not credited with two second-half assists. But it also showed two of the five assists Horton was credited with in the first half were bogus.
